Mojave Samples16.2g/t Gold on Reconnaissance of the Sonora Gold Property
Mojave Gold Corp. (MOJGF) announced significant assay results from its Sonora Gold Project following geological mapping and sampling in December and January. Key findings include an expanded strike length of mineralized structures exceeding original estimates, with the Sonora Copper West Structure extending over 8.5 kilometers and widths often surpassing 70 meters. Plans for further exploration of underground workings and a non-brokered private placement for CA $1.5 million to support project development were also revealed.
- Expanded strike length of mineralized structures beyond expectations.
- Sonora Copper West Structure observed over 8.5 kilometers long, often more than 70 meters wide.
- Significant gold concentrations confirmed along the known strike length.
- None.
Mojave Gold Corp Updates the Sonora Gold Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mojave Gold Corp. (CSE: MOJ) (OTCBB: MOJGF) (“Mojave” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results as shown in Table #1 from work completed in December and January on the project that focused on detailed geological mapping and chip sampling of mineralization of two important mineralized zones (Sonora Copper and Caracahui).
New Developments:
- The overall strike length of the structures and extent of associated mineralization are greater than originally anticipated.
- Mineralized structures have been mapped for over three kilometres, often reaching over 70 metres in width.
- In total, the now labelled Sonora Copper West Structure (SCWS) has been observed to extend more than 8.5 kilometres in cumulative length, often reaching over 70 metres in width.
- Mineralized vein breccias have been identified over several kilometres in length and are observed to obtain widths of several tens of metres.
Greg Bronson, CEO of Mojave states:
“We are very pleased with the results from our inaugural geological mapping and sampling program. In particular, the indication that most of the known mineralization may occur along the same structure is exciting as it demonstrates a large exploration target. Rock sampling also confirms significant gold concentrations occurring along the known strike length of the Sonora Copper West Structure”.
DETAILS AND OBSERVATIONS OF THE DECEMBER – JANUARY PROGRAM
Detailed mapping at 1:1,000 scale was completed over approximately 30 ha of the Sonora Cooper zone. The Sonora Cooper mineralized area contains large structures often reaching over 70 m in width, that were mapped in detail for over 500 m along strike.
Approximately 20 ha of the Caracahui mineralized zone were mapped at 1:1,000. Mojave geologists mapped breccia-vein structures and quartz veins averaging 1.5 m in width for more than 400 m along strike. Combined exposure length of the breccia-veins totals over 1,000 m.
The mineralization associated with the mapped structures is found in quartz veins and quartz barite breccia veins often displaying stockwork, ‘sponge’ and bladed textures. Gold mineralization is associated with limonite, jarosite, goethite, specularite and hematite. Also noted are common to abundant copper oxides, primarily chrysocolla.

On-site personnel at the project log and track all samples prior to sealing and shipping. Quality control is monitored by the insertion of blind certified standard reference materials and blanks into each sample shipment. All mineral resource sample shipments are sealed and shipped to Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories (“BVM”) in Hermosillo, Mexico, for preparation and assaying. BVM is independent of the Company. BVM’s quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025:1999. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Finally, representative blind duplicate samples are forwarded to BVM.
Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories, Hermosillo, has demonstrated compliance with ANS/ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, and has been accredited, since October 20, 2016. BVM is a state-of-the-art laboratory for metallic and industrial minerals filling a need for high quality, cost-effective, and timely technical services for the international mining industry.
MOJAVE GEOLOGISTS PLAN TO REVISIT UNDERGROUND WORKINGS
Mojave geologists are planning to revisit and conduct more detailed work on the underground historical workings on the Sonora Gold property. During the first round of sampling on the property, geologists mapped a significant sections of copper-gold mineralization in the underground adits. Geologists plan to further explore these historical adits and collect channel samples over observed mineralization in the adits.
